Lest We Forget...
The importance of teaching our pupils the meaning of Remembrance cannot be ignored. Remembrance Day marks the end of World War I at 11 am on 11th November 1918. It is a day to remember those who served and are currently serving. It is a day when we remember those who have been lost to us in service and to respect their memories. It is a day to remember, to keep memories and to hope and pray for a peaceful future. Our future leaders are our children, and in learning about Remembrance we hope they will understand the past and work to shape a peaceful future.
